    I found this website that says they sell new Xboxes and PS2s for £2.50.

    Sounds rather dodgy to me, but hell, might be worth a risk?!

    What do you guys think?

    its pyramid selling. you give 32.50 (not 2.50) then find as many mugs as you can to help you pay for your xbox. when 5 more people have given 32.50 you get you money back! then when you find 5 more people with more money than sense to donate 32.50 to your cause you get your xbox. total price 325.00 pounds sterling! but you have to wait until you've found 10 gullible nuggets! Another option is to goto currys or dixons and pay a staggering 129.99 pounds sterling and get your new box straight away.
    If you prefer to wait you can always send me 300.00 pounds and i'll send you a new box sometime in the future :)

    hmmz they have added
    Please Note :- An Element of risk will be involved. Potentially, the people at the end of the list may not recieve there item. Please be fully aware of this before buying your product.
    but just underneath that they say
    Remember, All that we ask from you is a little patience, our waiting times have varied from 2-3weeks to 2-3months.... BUT the team here at Fish4Stuff will guarantee you if you decide to become a member.......

    A. YOU WILL RECIEVE YOUR INITIAL PAYMENT BACK.....
    B. YOU WILL RECIEVE YOUR CHOSEN PRODUCT.....

    a little contradiction wouldn't you say? Also it makes you think when there is no geographical address and you pay by paypal!

    The pyramid selling thing is illegal in the UK. If this is looked into by the relative authorities and they see it as pyramid selling they will stop it, thus everybody that has given money will lose it!! Of course fish4stuff may argue their case and win but it looks to me to be a classic pyramid sales scam.

    Usually if you get in quick you will gain from it. But people further down the line *WILL LOSE OUT!* be prepared for comebacks from people you have got involved and that have lost out.
